World Cancer Day

Cancer knows no borders. In 2018, one out of six people worldwide died from cancer – that’s more than HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. World Cancer Day raises awareness of cancer globally and encourages prevention, detection, and treatment. Join the #WorldCancerDay discussion to help the American Cancer Society lead the fight for a world without cancer. Together we can continue to transform cancer from deadly to treatable and from treatable to preventable.
